So it's Team B's challenge time again over at Bearly Mine Challenges and this fortnight it's a "Anything Goes" challenge and we all know how much everyone loves these challenges, we generally end up with quiet a lot of entries which always fantastic.

Firstly I'd like to say thank you to everyone who joined in last weeks challenge and congratulations to the winner and Top 3.

So this week we have a couple of wonderful sponsors as always and they are

Search our web site for cute and whimsical rubber stamps. We also feature background scenes in full size and miniature and we have a large selection of tea bag folding stamps. For great inspiration be sure to visit our card gallery!

This challenge I've gone with a pretty apricot design and some beautiful flowers that I've only just taken delivery of from I Am Roses, they turned up just in time for this card.

My card

So I think this card turned out really pretty and I just love my new Lillies they are gorgeous, I also used some new dies that I've recently purchased as well. I was hoping to use some new products I've just purchased as well but my die cutting around my image didn't work so I ended up having to fussy cut it out.

We had an amazing amount of entries for last week's challenge, over 300 so I'm hoping that we can get close to that with this challenge as well. I know it's something a little different but who doesn't love a challenge or thinking outside the box.

So here is my card

So as you can see I've actually done the inside of this card, this is something I generally run out of time to do but thought I better get this one done as Christmas is now so close.

Well it's a beautiful morning here in sunny Forster, hoping though it doesn't get too hot today as we have a few things to do in the garden if my hubby is feeling up to it. He was hoping to return to work last night but unfortunately his cold flared up again so back to bed with more cold/flu tablets, hopefully he'll be returning on Tuesday arvo. I'm so thankful that I haven't been struck down with it as I really don't want it or even have the time to get sick.

So here we are it's that time again over at A & T Emerald Faeries and this month we have a real girly challenge, Lace/Ribbon & Bling, now who doesn't love using all of these products either on a card or a scrapbook layout.

We also have some wonderful news for you, drum roll please ................................................ we have another two new images to welcome to the FAERIES family and they are.

Now aren't they just another two gorgeous stamps, I had so much fun colouring these guys and making the cards and I can't wait to put them to good use again and again and again.

We've also had to wonderful ladies join us this month as Guest Designers and they have done some beautiful work, make sure you head on over to their blogs and have a look after stopping by and entering the challenge, they are Jenny D & Julie Price.

So now onto my two cards, this month I've actually kept my cards a little simple as I left making them until two nights before the blog went live and then had to take photo's and edit them the night before after work. The results though I'm really happy with and I have used some amazing flowers by a lady who used to be one of our DT members Lucinda.

So I hope to see plenty of you heading over to the blog to join in our challenge this month and I hope to see some if not all of you using one of our new digi's, there are four fabulous designs to choose from now.

It's all over
